I’ll do a release version later, but for those who want it, the i386 & PowerPC emulators.

On the i386 side, I did notice that with an older glib2 installed in /usr/local/lib that Qemu was slow, buggy and all around crappy.  But with a newer lib I’d recently built on my MacPro, it works fine, along with SOUND (tested with DOOM).  So yeah test with the i386 version first, I included the demo DOOM v1.1, and see how that works for you.  I’ve included the libintl & pixman libraries, along with a tar of my glib2 install.  Backup & replace as necessary.

It runs fine on my laptop, which up until now hasn’t run Qemu.

 

You can download the source code for it at Qemu.org.

Well this version runs surprisingly well on OS X.

Darwin 124244241046.ctinets.com 12.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.4.0: Wed May 1 17:57:12 PDT 2013; root:xnu-2050.24.15~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64), along with clang 421 (Apple clang version 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-421.0.57) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)

I’m using glib-2.23.6, along with my older notes, which are somewhat PowerPC specific, but work fine on OS X.  First remember to setup your environment for glib2

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

I ran into some issue with picking up libiconv with gconvert.c .  I just commented out the error message.

#if defined(USE_LIBICONV_GNU) && !defined (_LIBICONV_H)
#error GNU libiconv in use but included iconv.h not from libiconv
#endif
#if !defined(USE_LIBICONV_GNU) && defined (_LIBICONV_H)
//#error GNU libiconv not in use but included iconv.h is from libiconv
#endif

I also built it without GTK+ as building that looks simply overwhelming on OS X.  I had to build the included pixman with –disable-gtk flags.  In the configure script make it look like this:

#PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG
#if test $enable_gtk = auto ; then
# PKG_CHECK_EXISTS(gtk+-2.0, enable_gtk=yes, enable_gtk=no)
#fi
#if test $enable_gtk = yes ; then
# PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK, gtk+-2.0)
#fi

# if test “x$enable_gtk” = xyes; then
# HAVE_GTK_TRUE=
# HAVE_GTK_FALSE=’#’
#else
HAVE_GTK_TRUE=’#’
HAVE_GTK_FALSE=
#fi

Finally while the AdLib card is enabled by default now (yay) I kept on receiving the following error:

Assertion failed: (pio->offset >= off_last), function portio_list_add, file /usr/src/qemu-1.6.0-rc3/ioport.c, line 240.

So I just commented out the assert in ioport.c and I’ve been running Doom 1.1 for a few minutes without issue.  I’ve also been able to install Windows NT 4.0 on Qemu

And of course, this post on betaarchive.com by TC1988 goes a long way to help on building Qemu.

Well it does compile somewhat easily, but after some disk access, it just deadlocks. It didn’t matter if it was writeback, writethrough, or none, it just deadlocks.

Such a shame.  But I thought I’d at least keep the world up to date.

And something like this….

libiconv-1.14.tar.gz
pkg-config-0.18.1
gettext-0.18.1.1
glib-2.30.2
glib-2.33.2

I know it is mostly meaningless but Qemu 1.2.0/1.2.2 build & work fine for me.
